The Kamasutra is a journey of the life of a man through different sexual stages. It beings with boyhood when the first pubertal changes begin to surface in the body of the man right up to old age when the man loses his sexual virility. This range of a man’s entire sexual life is divided into seven stages, and hence there are seven books.

In the first book, Vatsyayana tells how a boy first begins to notice the changes in his own body. This makes him more aware of the world around him, and how he can relate to the correlation between himself and the universe. Not only is this a time of sexual advancement, there is also a social idea ingrained in the boy’s mind at this time. This is generally the stage when the boy decides what his place in society is. Just as the boy becomes more in harmony with society, he also develops a friendlier bond with his own body. He begins to understand how his body, especially the genitals, reacts to various changes around him. Sexual desires make their presence felt at this stage, and the boy learns to satiate himself by masturbation. Different masturbatory techniques for men are described in this book.

The second book is about sexual blooming of the boy into a young man. The young man learns what sex is all about, and goes into the world to seek his satisfaction. Different men get themselves satisfied in different manners. The very extensive section in this book pertaining to sexual positions is what the Kamasuutra is most remembered for even today. The book discusses at length how different sexual positions affect the mental and biological state of a man’s being. The relative merits and demerits of the positions are discussed at length.

Once this stage is past, the young man strives to gain a wife for himself. This is no easy task either, as he will need to woo the wife and perhaps have to pit himself with several competitors. Once he is victorious, he has the right to his wife, and nobody else can lay a claim on her. He has a moral right to fight anybody who trespasses the decency of his wife. This book also tells how a man and his wife can enjoy sexual bliss. It tells about how a woman must help her husband masturbate if he so desires.

The entire Kamasutra is written from the point of view of a man. However, in book four, Vatsyayana directly addresses women. He tells them of the proper mode of conduct in a marriage, of how to remain faithful and dutiful to their husbands and how to protect their modesties from other men. The point that a wife must provide her husband with good sex, and get good sex in return from him, is also emphasized.

The fifth book lays bare the deviant nature in all men as they approach middle age. This is the time when the wife no longer holds the same attraction, and men try to hunt for other men’s wives. Though this is immoral, the Kamasutra maintains that this is also inevitable. So methods of luring other men’s wives are present in this book of the Kamasutra. The Kamasutra goes as far as saying that only if there is extra-marital sex will there be peace within a marriage.

The sixth book makes man seem more adventurous, primarily because of his diminishing sexual drive. This is the time when the man has earned enough money, and he doesn’t mind squandering a bit of it on carnal pleasures. Man would visit prostitutes and such other women in order to get his pleasures.

In the seventh and the last book, the stage of man after he has lost his sex drive is mentioned. This is when man returns fully to his wife, and engrosses himself in spiritual pursuits. In order to keep his body in good health, he may divert to Ayurveda and Yoga and make the best use of his remaining years on earth.

So this is what the Kamasutra is all about. Naturally, people the world over think that the Kamasutra is only a book about sexual positions, though this is as far from the truth as it can be possible. The Kamasutra is a whole treatise on sex.

In today’s world, the basic argument against the Kamasutra – and a very justified one at that – is that it objectifies women. The entire work treats women as nothing more than sex toys for the male. This goes very much against the teaching of almost all cultures of the world. Also, despite its very blatant description of all things sexual, the very popular oral sex has been uncannily kept out. There is no mention – supporting or contradictory – of oral sex at all.

But the book on sexual positions in the Kamasutra is still a very valuable work. This is the inspiration for several of the cave sculptures of India, and they are also quite universal in their approach. Couples can derive much pleasure by trying out the different postures mentioned here.

Lying Down Positions

There are many positions that require both people to lie down. Some of these positions you may have already found yourself doing in the past. Here’s a couple of them:

The “Flower in Bloom” is where the woman clasps onto her buttocks with the palms of her hands, while spreading her thighs wide and digging her heals beside her hips, while the man caresses her breasts at the same time.

The “Vyomapada”(more commonly known as the sky foot) is where the woman grabs onto her feet and pulls them up to her hair, whilst laying on her back. This requires some practice and also a bit of flexibility too!

The “Monkey” seems a little weird at fist but can create a lot of pleasure for both people. It’s when the woman grabs her ankles and raises them skyward whilst the man is on top kissing and ’slapping’ her breasts. Try it out, it’s great fun, even if it’s just for a laugh!

Standing Positions

Standing positions are the most erotic of all positions. Some of them are very extravagant, but extremely pleasurable at the same time. Here’s a couple for you to try:

The “Avalambitaka” requires the man to be standing up against the wall, holding her underneath the thighs, which she squeezes up against his sides. She then pushes against the wall back and forth, while the man suspends her.

The “Traivikrama” is where the man lifts one of the woman’s legs up so it is clasped behind his knee. She has her arms around his neck and he makes love to her. This one is very erotic, give it a try!

The “Janukurpara” requires the man to put his elbows under her knees, clasp onto her buttocks and lift her up, while she hangs onto his neck. This one has the potential to create an enormous amount of pleasure for both people.

When it comes to positions of The Kama Sutra, there really are too many to try. I mean, you’ve probably already tried many, so make it your goal to only try some of the extravagant ones, because they are a lot of fun for the both of you!

The Half-Pressed Position

The half-pressed Kama Sutra position is a great way to stimulate pleasure for both the man and woman in the relationship. One of the best things about the half-pressed position is that it enables the woman’s clitoris to be stimulated during intercourse. This is how it works -

The man starts on both knees and pulls the woman in towards him. She is on the back and should proceed to press her thighs up against either side of his waste. The next step is for the man. He should then take one of her legs and bend it at the knee and pull her foot in towards his chest area, where it will stay pressed up between both pecks.

He should place on hand on the top of her ankle of the raised leg and the other on her knee. Her leg should be pressed firmly up against her chest. From this position, her vagina should tighten, therefore enabling her clitoris to feel pressure during intercourse.

This is a great position for both members of the relationship as the pleasure attained can be enormous when done correctly. If you haven’t tried this before then I recommend you give it a go!

The Splitting Of A Bamboo

The splitting of a bamboo is a great position that also enables pressure to be placed on the clitoris. This on is very similar to the pressed position apart from a couple of details. First of all the position starts with the woman lying on her back and the man on top(missionary). From there the man should bring one of his legs up so that his knee is bent. His other leg should stay stretched out.

From here he should take her leg on the same side as his kneeling leg and place it over his shoulder on the same side. She should then embrace his right pelvis with her hands. Once this has occurred he should then lean forward and continue from there. This again will help to create an enormous amount of tightness around the vagina and both people will experience huge pleasure. Give it a go!

The first step is to learn the context of the book itself. It is important to learn the basic outlook of the philosophy detailed in the book before going deeper into the insights provided. The Kama Sutra was written years ago based on Indian philosophy – giving advice on how to live people’s lives relating to their romantic relationships, sex, and even their domestic lives.

After learning its context, you can then read the Kama Sutra. A good translated version was done by Richard Burton. Reading the book is a good way to get yourself acquainted with the terms used as well as the book’s unique approach to dating and sex. After this, you may then find a specific text to focus on. After your initial reading, think about the area that interests you most and look for texts written specifically on that topic.

Go through a book of Kama Sutra sex positions. The Kama Sutra is essentially a philosophical book, but it can be hard to simply ignore its approach to sex and the innovative Kama Sutra sex positions. A book detailing these sexual positions will allow you to look more into the sexual ideas of the Kama Sutra. Finally, try to integrate and practice the principles of Kama Sutra into your everyday life. Whether it involves trying a Kama Sutra sex position you have read about or simply treating your partner more tenderly – the best and most effective way to explore the Kama Sutra texts is to apply it in your life.

‘Putting On The Sock.’ Go ahead try saying it without bursting with laughter or better yet let your imagination run wild. ‘Putting on the sock’ does not refer to the man covering his penis with a sock. Actually, it refers to a very erotic technique with the woman on her back the man sits between her legs and puts his penis at the entrance of her vagina. Slowly caressing her vagina he replaces his fingers with his penis. The continued stroking will leave her incredibly wet, wild and on the verge of an orgasm. The man brings the erotic torture to an end by thrusting into the woman giving her what she truly craves.

‘The Blacksmith’s Posture.’ In this Kama Sutra position the woman lies down and drawing her knees to her torso pushing her vagina forward creating a scintillating view. The man then begins the game of teasing her madly by inserting and withdrawing his penis. Obviously, this Kama Sutra position helps the man maintain a longer erection. Supposedly, this movement imitates the blacksmith who ‘draws the hot iron from the fire…’ The best thing is that this Kama Sutra position can lead to scorching sex.

The ‘Ostrich’s Tail.’ With the woman on her back, the man kneels at her feet and then raises her legs until only her head and shoulders remain on the bed or floor. After he enters her she can then put her legs around his head. Her raised legs give the impression of being spread out–like an ostrich’s tail. This sensual Kama Sutra position benefits both partners by allowing them to slowing build up to an orgasm.

The ‘Yawning Position.’ In this Kama Sutra position the woman on her back, raises and widely spreads her legs as the man eagerly enters her vagina. This position allows the man and woman to share the intimacy of pleasure by gazing into each others eyes. The woman can also caress her breasts adding to the visual stimulation.

Of course, I would love to write that these Kama Sutra positions provide earth-shattering orgasms for everyone. The fact is these positions are truly for athletic and adventurous individuals. That’s not to say that a modified version wouldn’t benefit everyone, so why not give them a try.

The History of the Erotic Texts

The Kama Sutra is the most famous of a collection of Indian erotic texts, and is probably not original; the author Vatsyayana Mallanaga probably collected and reworked a range of existing Sanskrit manuals to write his work. Written between 100-500 AD, the society which created these works was one of sensual awareness and respect for the sacredness of sexual relations, while recognising some practices as holy and others as forbidden. Encompassing sixty-four arts, the manual was designed to be utilised by the upper castes of Indian societies. Young women were taught the Kama Sutra as a part of their education before marriage, and men were expected to live by the same lifestyle laws. Other texts written in a similar context include Ratirahasya a.k.a. Kokashastra by Kokkoka (translated into English by S. C. Upadhyaya-1965); Ratiratnapradipika by Devaraja (translated into English by Rangaswami Iyengar-1923) and Ratisastra by Nagarjuna (translated into English by A. C. Ghose-1904).

The Ideals of the Kama Sutra

The man who is ingenious and wise, who knows the intentions of others and also the proper time and place for doing everything, can gain over, very easily, even a woman who is very hard to be obtained

Kama Sutra Part I

Within the text there are some interesting concepts, which are all too relevant to romance today. The recognition of the differences between women and how to court these different women in a manner that suits her are examples of this. Despite the manual-like appearance of the text and the almost cold-blooded scientific descriptions within it, the work certainly offers clear, matter-of-fact assistance in romance.

The Kama Sutra also recognises that ‘kama’(love and sexual gratification) is only one part of life; the other two parts being ‘dharma’ (to be religious and/or a good member of society) and ‘Artha’ (to acquire and manage wealth in an appropriate manner). These ideas are outdated, but the notion of the three being entwined suggests that love should pervade the entire lifestyle, and that romance can be a primary factor in an individual’s life rather than a secondary one.

The Kama Sutra in Modern Society

Although some of the ideas and concepts recorded in the Kama Sutra may be relevant only to the Indian society it was written for, there are many pieces of valuable information that can be gleaned from the text. Psychologists who have studied the book note that it has very positive messages in terms of creating an equal and loving relationship, using sex as a means to demonstrate love. The forms of lovemaking, including kissing and caressing as well as the sexual positions, are designed to enhance the physical connection between men and women and to offer a more creative and vibrant aspect to sexual relations.

The Kama Sutra also provides practical information about courtship and reading a woman’s body language, although some of this information is antiquated. It discusses lover’s quarrels, responses to certain attractions and how to use these reactions to the advantage of the man wooing the woman.

The Story of the Kama Sutra

Knowing love, I will allow all things to come and go. To be as supple as the wind, and take everything that comes with great courage. Life is right in any case. My heart is as open as the sky.

From the movie ‘Kama Sutra’

Perhaps the most exciting thing about the Kama Sutra is the amazing idea of a society structured with a high tolerance of sexual behaviour and an awareness of the sacredness of sex. The Kama Sutra tells an intriguing story about this old, exotic society, its courtesies and practices. The tales of how to behave at garden parties, drinking parties and festivals are delightful to any interested in ancient societies, conjuring images in the mind of peacocks roaming through bright gardens and men and women reclining in rose arbours with teas and exotic delicacies. The other interesting points in the text include descriptions on how to deal with courtesans, the forms of marriage and the women of the royal harem.

The agitation for sexual satisfaction for women is a healthy development and discerning men are now realizing that sex does not end with their ejaculation or orgasm. Besides, what manner of sexual satisfaction will a woman get out of 2 minutes of copulation? Most men do not even last that long inside a woman. Such sex leaves the woman dissatisfied and empty, devoid of any form of joy from an otherwise joyful situation.

Lovemaking is not a momentary action. Lovemaking and sexual satisfaction takes hours to build up from the female perspective. The best sexual organ of the body, the brain, prepares you several hours before the actual physical sexual copulation happens. Women want to be talked to or, rather, communicated with sexually long before the actual sex. Women want to be satisfied sexually. They do not want to be treated as objects for the satisfaction of the males as the kama sutra made them out to be. Male sexual satisfaction is necessary but women also want their satisfaction out of the same sex.

Women want to be given their due sexual enjoyment. Sex is a fact of life no doubt about that. Sex and lovemaking is the spice of life. Sex [very good considerate sex] is as natural as walking, sleeping and breathing. Sex and lovemaking is the lifeblood and the bond that holds together men and women — marriages and relationships. The ultimate expression of intimacy, sex also is the core of procreation, the way humanity ensures that the human race continues. And for most couples, sex is a source of enjoyment and fellowship. So, why should the womenfolk be denied their enjoyment and fellowship from sex?

Female Kama Sutra – What Today’s Woman Wants from Sex

The following are what women want from sex and how they want to be treated prior and after sex. When you give your woman what she wants, you are promoting female kama sutra, the sexual satisfaction for women:

• sex is a seduction of the mind – mental foreplay is crucial to sexual satisfaction for a woman.
• women want to be romanced and courted always – women want to know that they are always relevant in your life. Court women with affection and communication.
• flatter your woman with desire – perceived desire does wonders to the female psyche.
• women want to be pampered and cherished. Occasional flowers and “I Love You” texts or calls or cards are important to women.
• a loving and considerate man who is not afraid to explore the female anatomy and break sexual boundaries to the female multiple orgasm
• a man who is macho enough to help the woman out with perceived female chores.
• a man who knows how to give the females sexual satisfaction always.
• a man who can give head is a darling always.

Give your woman sexual satisfaction today and join in writing the female kama sutra that will be read tomorrow. Do not deny the women sexual satisfaction.

Every man needs a tip once in a while, especially when it comes to things that are not that well-known. Take Kama Sutra for example. Everybody heard the name, but to the average man Kama Sutra is just ‘a name’. It has a raunchy connotation and a reputation for being some sort of ancient porn mag, but the details elude pretty much anybody who never had the time or the inclination to actually read the book. Nevertheless, it’s easier to pretend that one has the common vague idea about what’s in it than to really get hold of a copy and read it.

Tantric Sex

Tantric sex is another great way of blowing the minds (not literally) of women; especially those who don’t think much of you at the start. Women always melt before passion and tenderness and Tantric sex is all about increasing the feeling instead of just pushing harder or faster. It’s about learning to open your heart a bit and experience a fantastic sense of unity with your lover. And that’s exactly what’s going to make her beg for more every time because good Tantric sex and a thorough knowledge of Kama Sutra are remarkably scarce in men.

All the different Kama Sutra Positions have the possibilities to satisfy your lover greatly, but it all depends on whether you are willing to explore new positions and techniques. Let me just share with you one of the best Kama Sutra positions that can make her go wild:

The Widely Opened Position. This positions starts with the woman lying down with her back arched, head thrown back and body raised to meet her partner spreading her legs wide giving an angle of entry to ensure deep penetration.

This position provides more satisfaction to the woman then the man as the genitals comes into contact. This is because this position gives her clitoris full exposure to the friction of the intercourse. However, he might simply miss the feeling of the tight containment as she closes her legs against his penis.

The man can support himself by propping his himself up with his arms. The woman should keep her body arched to meet her lover and look into his eyes to increase the level of intimacy.

You can give your women sexual satisfaction today. Sex is part of your life, and you should make every session of it be a fulfilling and enjoyable one.

Now I’m sure you have already tried this one. All it entails is for the woman to lie on her back. The man on his knees then proceeds to hold onto her ankle region and spread her legs wide apart. From this position the man does all the work. This position enables a good passage for the man to enter into and he is able to rotate his pelvis in different directions to help stimulate different parts of the woman’s vagina. Don’t tell me you’ve haven’t tried this one before??

The Scandinavian

The Scandinavian is again very simple Kamasutra position that is often used by couples today. It requires the man to lie on his back to start with. The woman then sits on top facing towards his feet, with her legs rapped over the side of his body. In essence she has her back turned to him. She then does all the work from here, thrusting back and forth, while he holds onto her buttocks and helps to increase the momentum.

This position enables the woman to control the amount sexual pleasure that can be obtained by both participants. If you haven’t tried the Scandinavian than give it a go, it’s incredibly erotic.

The Tigress

The tigress is a Kamasutra position that is a little more complicated to get into. It requires the man to sit down first. From there she should then proceed to sit on top at a perpendicular angle to her partner. Once she has entered on a right angle she should the hold her legs up at a 45 degree angle, placing her left arm around his right shoulder and using her other arm to support herself on the ground. He should the place his hands under her buttocks and ‘do his stuff’ from there. I’m sure you’ll muck this one up at first, but that’s the whole fun of it!

So there are a few Kamasutra positions that are simple yet very erotic at the same time. Make sure you try and have fun with this and don’t take it too seriously. That’s what modern day Kamasutra is all about in the end, making it enjoyable for both people in the relationship!
